[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 655400, member: 13542"] Tanya, I had a similar experience when I was in Hawaii one of the many times my daughter was homeless. At one point I just sat on a curb and started to cry, the overwhelming guilt and powerlessness just became too much. There I was in Paradise and the pull of my daughter's life and her choices was dragging me around. My husband said a similar thing to me and I can still recall sitting there, looking around at the gorgeous scenery and thinking to myself, "here I am on this beautiful island bumming out about something I didn't create and I can't control and it is ruining so many moments of my life." I got up, brushed myself off, dried my tears and suddenly had this determination to begin living my own life to the fullest, REGARDLESS of what my daughter was doing or not doing. There were starts and stops, a few more bumps, but I recall that as being a turning point for me. Hang on Sherri, this WILL get better. [/QUOTE]
